Rana Daggubati says large-scale Indian mythologies can put Game of Thrones to shame
Baahubali (2015) actor Rana Daggubati believes that if we create stories that are true to the land, the Indian entertainment industry can earn international recognition. The actor further went on to say that India has the best mythologies and sagas and that if they are correctly presented, Indian content may surpass Game of Thrones (2011).
According to a recent report, Rana was part of a panel discussion for the relaunch of an OTT platform. He claimed that if we could derive anything from our heartland, India may gain global acceptance as well.
He stated, "What will take us to the global audiences? Stories which are extremely local, things that happen in different parts of the country, which are new to the world and unique to us."
"India is a land of stories with the greatest mythologies ever written, and in that sense, they've been written at a scale that puts Game of Thrones to shame. There'll be two-three directions that'll automatically take us there," continued the actor-producer.
The Ghazi (2017) actor concluded by stating, "It's our culture that we are representing. So if it's Money Heist, let's rob stuff the way Indians would... It'll still be our culture and our ethic that would make that story go places.”
On the professional front, Rana Daggubati’s most recent film was Virata Parvam (2022), and he will next star in Marthanda Varma.
